Notes About The Poem

To my friend Frank, I dedicate this poem to you.

 

Cancer

I have a friend with Cancer.
I want to wish him well.
It's not enough to sit by and
watch his family face this hell.

I have heard so much about this
dreaded disease.
How the victims keep on fighting
puts my mind at ease.

I have a friend with Cancer.
I know not what more to say.
He is a trooper Soldier;
He is also very brave.

His time of living seems to be in jeopardy.
But I know our God is with him as He
shines His light in him.

I have a friend with Cancer.
He's fighting every day.
Until there's no more Cancer,
He'll win that war some day.

Cancer is indeed the disease from hell! But we have to keep the faith and believe that in spite of the challenges - God will help us to prevail! This is such a powerful, inspirational piece - full of hope and faith! Well done! Pandita
